"Fascinating! Mage bred animals and trees? One wonders what other secrets they have? Perhaps they are involved with the missing Clawfoots? Could it be they are experimenting on the Clawfoots? If they could improve them somehow it could bring great profit to house Vadalis. How to proceed with further investigation? Do we use the darkness to look around or would they have sentries or magical wards?"

"Sentries can always be bypassed, if that's the way we want to go," says Tillington with fasr too much confidence. "Only way to find out ids to try."
"Or we could be upfront about it with the House, just not with this facility. So they know there are agents on the field. If this is inside job we just need to make sure these people don't know about it. I'd avoid 'bypassing' as you say. It's breaking the law."
Ozzar is not happy with Malix and Tillington suggestions.
"Just offerin' ideas!" says Tillingrton. "Hey! I could maybe get a job here. I bet they could use a guy like me."

A bit before the plotting starts:
"Of course, of course, feel free to look around!" Eixek brings his pitch to a lower pressure as he walks into a nearby office. "I'll be right in here."
"Just remember," He adds. "Sometimes when you are looking for an animal, the right one will come to you!" Then closes the door with a wink.

Ozzar follows Eixek into the office.
"I was wondering about the animals. If they are intelligent, can't they choose their owners? And do you need security if they can warn you by themselves? I mean, they are valuable but are they still animals or they are...erm...beings...you know...intelligent."

In his office, Eixek turns to answer the questions:
"Let's see, where is that pamphlet?" He rhetorically asks while digging through the cabinet.
"Ah-ha!" he lays out the paperwork with aplomb. "Always nice to work with a House, don't you agree? Everything has it's place and proper procedure."
Standard Vadalis Pricings
"If the current animals here aren't to you liking, we can have any type of animal bred by House Vadalis shipped here within a week." Eixek says with a smile. "Naturally, we also offer husbandry, training and stabling survices!"
The question of animal intelligence takes the man aback for a moment. "Oh don't worry, our animals are still quite animal! I know the Treaty of Thronehold has some people up in arms over what a person is, but I can assure you, these aren't! Even the druids in the Reaches would still call them animals."
After clearing his throat, as if to change the subject. "As for imprinting, that is absolutely no problem at all! Making that kind of magic happen is a House Vadalis specialty!"
"The alarm animals each have their own way of communication, typical chirps and purrs, gentile nudges, shrieking like the world is ending, and even telepathy! Most of them aren't too handy in a fight, but we can train one of our more combat ready animals to do the same. Guard Dogs with extra abilities are very popular, especially among the nobles!"

"Wow! For half o' these I don't even know what they are not to say pronounce their names." Ozzar is stumped by the sheer variability implied in foreign names
"Do you have monsters from Chult? Those...Dyno-saws? Things that some halflings ride? For me personally, I'd go with some digging thingy such as badger or...I know! Umber Hulk.
Prices are a bit above our current ability."

"Aw, c'mon," says Tillington, knowing enough not to mention the big bag of gold out loud. "We got some money. Maybe just a Tressym or..." (he pretends to run his thumb down the list) "...an Axe-beak?"
